Dear millis, I have set like this ``` error_page 403 /error-page/403.html; ``` however when I open [http://mydomain.com/error-page/](http://mydomain.com/error-page/) is still giving me forbidden msg default by nginx. This’s shown on my error log 2010/05/12 12:19:31 [error] 14785#0: \*727087 directory index of “/home/mysite/error-page/” is forbidden, client: 1.2.1.4, server: [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com), request: “GET /error-page/ HTTP/1.0”, host: “[www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com)” ---

It should be proxied to lb.
